Hexacyanoferrate Modification of Gold Electrode through Monolayer Approach

Hexacyanoferrate modification of gold electrode has been achieved by immobilizing the species in a self-assembled monolayer of 3,3‘-thiodipropionic acid anchored to the gold surface. The surface coverage of hexacyanoferrate is estimated from the voltammetric data point to be about one monolayer, and the modified electrode exhibits excellent surface redox behavior. Further, it shows good electrocatalytic influence on the oxidation of hydrazine and ascorbic acid.
